Interesting 3 1/4" round baseball shaped souvenir complete with stitching has "Meet the Stars and Champions of Sort at the New York World's Fair 1939". At the bottom is a facsimile Babe Ruth signature with the further "Member Advisory Sports Committee" just below. Jack Dempsey has signed right above the top stitch. Babe Ruth is just above the bottom stitch on the sweet spot but in the opposite direction. Both signatures are in pencil and rate about a 7-8/10. The back tells all about the 1939 Academy of Sport. The Babe Ruth pencil signature across the printed writing on the back rates about 7-8/10. Four others have also signed in pencil on the back but we have not been able to identify them. They could or could not be celebrities. Couple of creases that dot not distract nor touch either Ruth autograph. Couple of moderate stains on back neither of which effect Ruth. Includes full LOA from PSA/DNA.
